Bray7 wrote Also I noticed how different the grill design was for the toilet paper/flatbed truck. And in fact, the truck is actually an original Transtar I! Specifically it's a 1968 International Harvester Transtar CO-4070. Note the lack of an IH logo, and the different grill design. Here's a progression of the truck's paint jobs:
Starting with it's greyish-blue original paint job seen in the bridge scene. Then it's grill was painted black and it was intended to be used with the liquid oxygen tanker.

Next the truck was given it's signature black and white paint job. And then it's front was painted over black for when it was blown up, it's original grey/blue paint can be seen when the mule pulls alongside it.

I also added this truck so hopefully somebody see's this comment explaining why I added it, mainly because it's not a CO-4000 it's a CO-4070.


I didn't include you as the contributor since it looks like the pic was taken from this one:

That's alright, I chose that picture as I only have the original version of the movie and not the HD remaster. Which most of the pictures on this movie are of the HD Remaster.

Also if anyone was interested, The logo on this truck says, "MAYFRESH" "Toliet Tissue" "Fresh As A Spring Day", and that bottom line is in a wicked cursive writting

Observe
I notice from this photo showing that MAYFRESH Truck, that truck originally shown isn't the same as the one that blew up when Mr.Hendershot shot at it. The truck orginally shown has 2 blue spots on the Left & Right Bottom, but here, it's all black which is strange. I bet they had to replace that truck for some reason.

I believe that the two similar internationals are indeed different. Here's some major points :

So, I know it's a lot, but lemme explain please. I think that these are two different but very similar trucks. 1. - The Mayfresh has 2 patches of blue on the lights, just as the same top color, while the Barrel Truck has the same thing, and that other one in the second photo up-top row......that seems to have all blue but the bumper. 2.- The Barrel truck seems to have a unreadable Logo, or paint splash on it as the side doors, but the Mayfresh has the Triple D. Trucking Co. Logo on both doors, which is an actually company that is supposedly a small trucking business in Four Oaks, NC. 3.-When the Mayfresh is blown up, it still has the logo on it, but it looks somewhat destroyed...I'm assuming something happened to make looked destroyed and also the blue spots over the lights seemed to have been stained or painted black for unknown reason. 4.- They are indeed the same truck, but how could that logo on the Barrel Truck be painted over with the Triple D. Trucking Co. Logo or viseversa. In my opinion, I think they're two different but very similar trucks.

Although, it could be the same truck. I kinda doubt it, but I'd be open to discussions.

Here's something that's confusing

The truck in this photo is of the Flatbed Hauler

This one is of King himself standing in front of the Toilet Paper Hauler, so maybe they are or aren't the same Truck

Looking at the 13th, 14th, and 15th thumbnails Dimensional provided, I think that the all-black paintjob might actually be soot and grime from the special effect flames that were rigged to the truck. The reason why the front-end appears all black prior to the explosion is that it may have been a second take filmed after the effect went off the first time.

In the thumbnails, you can see blue paint underneath the black substance.
